Authorities arrest one following robbery

City police captured one man and are looking for a second after an armed robbery Thursday night at a barber shop on Poe Street.

Corporal Larry Moss said 19-year-old Kevin Jaquelle Hill, 2022 Knapp St., has been charged with armed robbery, armed robbery with a firearm and illegal use of dangerous instrumentalities, discharging a firearm.

Judge Michael Canaday set Hill’s bond at $80,000.

Moss said Hill and another man entered Nero’s Barber Shop, 2509 Poe St., and pointed guns at three people.

“After obtaining an undetermined amount of cash the suspects fled,” Moss said Friday. “They fired several rounds into the barber shop as they left the area. No one was struck and no injuries were reported.”

Moss said the investigation is ongoing as they look for the second suspect.
